Jack came up with the brilliant idea of trading places with Kenneth the Page for a day. It was all part of a GE-sponsored "Bottoms Up" program, where somebody in management trades places for a day with somebody below them. Kenny was excited for the switch.

Liz and Jenna were taking turns flirting with two guys from MSNBC. They called the guys 'The Head' and 'The Hair.' One was a brain, while the other was super good looking. When Liz went looking for The Head, she ran into The Hair and engaged in some witty conversation. Liz was surprised when The Hair, who's real name was Greg, ended up asking her out.

Liz went to the restaurant opening where she met up with Greg. She felt so out of her element surrounded by all the pretty people. Jenna called to check up on her and Liz told her she just wanted to go home. She left the restaurant and Greg chased after her. After talking to him, she realized they had more in common then she thought.

Jack apologized to Kenneth when he told him that Kenneth should have more dreams for his future than to just be a page. Jack could see that Kenneth took his job very seriously. Kenneth thought that television was the true American art and that's why he was happy to work in it.

Kenneth told Jack a great idea of a game show and Jack wanted Kenneth to pitch it to the heads of NBC. They loved the idea and were surprised that Kenneth knew what he was talking about when it came to contract negotiations. Jack felt proud of Kenneth. But Kenneth's show later proved to be a failure.

Liz and Greg were having a great time when they came back to his beautiful apartment. She kept waiting on something to go wrong and then something did. She recognized a picture on his desk and then she quickly put two and two together that they were third cousins! Greg stopped Liz to tell her that he still meant everything he had told her before.

Jenna was excited that her movie, The Rural Juror, was being distributed in limited release. Liz had a problem with the title of the movie, but couldn't let Jenna know. Jenna was just excited to be getting more attention than Tracy around the studio.

Liz caught a sneak peak at Jenna's movie and hated it. She tried to avoid Jenna at work so she wouldn't be forced to lie and say she liked it. She told Pete that every time she had to see one of Jenna's performances, she would say one nice thing about it and then end the conversation with a hug.

Tracy was in desperate need of $100,000 to save both of his houses. Jack said that Tracy should brand his name somehow to make more money. Tracy pitched the idea of a meat machine, The Tracy Jordan Meat Machine!

Liz ran into Jenna and told her she loved the movie's soundtrack. Jenna wanted to know what Liz actually thought of the movie. Liz told her she thought the movie was a train wreck. Jenna thanked her for her honesty and walked away. Liz felt terrible.

Tracy teamed up with Dr. Spaceman to create an informercial for his Tracy Jordan Meat Machine. When Kenneth tried the machine out he was severely burned by the grease from the machine. Jack came up with the idea to sell the machine to another country without regulations. But, Tracy had reservations.

Jenna was being a pain to work with on the set and called Liz's sketch a train wreck. Finally, they had a war of words in front of the entire staff. Jenna admitted she slept with Liz's brother, Mitch and he was disgusting. Jack broke up the fight and demanded they go to his office.

Jack told Jenna that she should be thanking Liz for saving her job when Jack wanted to fire her. But, then Liz admitted that Jenna was right, she was jealous with how advanced her career had become and Liz was stuck just being a writer. They made up and became friends again.

Liz wanted to talk to Jack about getting new jackets for the cast and crew of the show. He flipped out, but not because of her. He was stressed because he had just gotten off the phone with a mystery person with a "407" area code. It turned out the mystery caller was his mother.

Jenna came over for cake at Liz's house. Liz had something else on her mind. After talking to her engaged assistant, Liz started thinking more and more about babies. Jenna reminded Liz that her biological clock was ticking and she really didn't have that much time if she really wanted a kid.

Liz discovered that Jenna told everybody that she was looking to get pregnant. Liz was upset that Jenna would share that kind of private information. Liz finally had to make the announcement to the entire staff that she was not looking for a sperm donor!

Tracy was having a problem with Josh constantly doing impersonations of him. He threatened to go to Jack about his problem. Josh later prank called Tracy pretending to be Jack and Tracy fell for the prank.

Jack called Liz into a meeting to discuss her biological clock. He decided to take it upon himself to give her a little parenting advice. He told her not to smother the child, the way his mother smothered him. Liz started giving him advice on how to deal with his mother. They were interrupted by another phone call from Jack's mother.

In order for Josh to cover his tracks with Jack and Tracy, he called Jack and pretended to be Tracy. Once he smoothed things over with Jack, he called Tracy as Jack and smoothed things over. Liz was relieved once that was taken care of.

Jenna's make-up artist had to bring her baby to work and asked Liz to watch her while she completed Jenna's make-up. Liz had so much fun that she didn't realize she took the baby home! She instantly rushed back to the work.

Liz returned the baby but was shocked to find out that everybody was looking for her. They all thought that Liz had kidnapped her! Jack wanted to know what Liz's body was really telling her. Liz told Jack it made her realize that she needs to develop more of a personal life.
